DALLAS, Texas (September 15, 2021) - God's Love We Deliver, in partnership with Heritage Auctions, announced today the launch of the CowParade NYC 2021 auction, selling 73 unique cows painted and designed by dozens of artists for the 100th staging of the global CowParade.

'God's Love We Deliver is thrilled to be the exclusive charity partner of the CowParade,' says Karen Pearl, God's Love We Deliver President & CEO.

We are thrilled that, with our auction with Heritage Auctions, the joy of CowParade will live on. We trust in our friends at Heritage to create an unparalleled auction experience that will yield fantastic results, and ultimately, allow us to keep working toward our mission to ensure no one living with severe illness goes without a delicious, nutritious meal delivered with a smile.'
